We barely see Nas doing interviews. I am so happy to see him smiling and thriving!

[carlosm]

Nas to me means wisdom, knowledge, empathy, awareness, and poetry. I wish I could thank him personally. He set the standard for generations of lyricists and poets. 1 love brother …

[shaunardesch]

From illmatic to Stillmatic, to the KD trilogy, NAS has been holding it down for 30 plus years now. SALUTE to one of the GOATS in not just hip-hop, I’m talking music in general. 🙏🏻 🙌🏻

[candaceellison]

Nas is pure talent. He’s looking even better as he gets older.

[DavidRichardson]

This man hasn't aged a day. Turning 50 next year looking 35 still. Still sharp with the pen and rhymes and where can I cop that jacket?

[KinfO]

I love Nas. He's so handsome, well dressed, well spoken, and professional.

[cabdragon]

There is nothing more fascinating than hearing an admirable artist talk about their lesser known passions

[carolinehardware]

Trevor such a great interviewer. So rare to see a host actually listening to his guests, ask questions that doesn't belittle them and actually allows them to answer without interruption.

[Jonuh]

I absolutely love Nas and I think he is one of the greatest lyrical rappers to ever live, but being objective, you can't say Trevor doesn't ask some really amazing questions in these interviews.

[JimmyPlaylists]

You can have all the Grammys, Jay... give me Nas' catalogue _any_ day! 😁 The new album is incredible.

[jdrussell]

Love Nas. Beyond just being one of the best lyricists to ever grab the mic, he's humble. Plus does that dude ever age?

[johngreen]

Dropping classic albums 30 years into his career. Nas is a legend's legend. 🐐

[theurbanblogafrica]

I love how nas brings up hit boy in every platform he gets, man that's type of bond I need with my groupies

[februaryschild]

Nas is forever the street poet/historian of hip-hop. Just saw him in concert recently. Proud New Yorker.

[lucasm]

My favorite lyricist of all time without a doubt 💯🔥

[firstnamelastname]

this four album run has been incredible

[Aprylbaby]

I smiled the entire time. Its so rare to see Nas in an interview. I'm sorry I love this man❤

[edwardpolenzani]

Great point Trevor made…Nas definitely struck a great balance between reminiscing on the past and giving advice for the future. AND he did it in a way that didn’t come off as condescending or preachy, which can be tough to do. He’s really embraced this mentor figure in hip hop and disproved the notion that it’s only a young man’s game

[calvinmlangeni]

Nas has never ever delivered a questionable lyric in whole discography...what a legend 👏

[moketekeketsi]

Wow Trevor is rubbing shoulders with the best of the best, really proud man representing South Africa 🇿🇦 👏 respect
